Limited AWD Escape

Our Escape is fun, nimble, roomy & cute. With the second row of seats folded down there is tremendous room to haul cargo, plus it has a 3,500lb towing capacity.

My Second Escape

This is my second Ford Escape. I am a musician and camper so I appreciate the interior space. I find it quite comfortable and easy to handle. It does however have some road noise and isn't the "smoothest" ride, but after all, it is an SUV. I have the XL package with 4 wheel drive which I have never had to use but feel it's worth it just in case. I would buy another unless the price goes too huigh for what it offers.

I like it, I came from driving a 04 4dr turbo diesel dualy to this and it is soooo much fun. It's little and easy to get around in but I don't feel like I'm gonna get completely squashed by other vehicles. It was great for gettin' around a college town where drivers are crazy.

This has been the all around best car. I do not have to worry about going out of town and having any problems with it, or waking up and it not starting. I know that this will be like every other Ford that my family has owned, a 200,000 mile+ car.
